xdg-open fails to open urls/files with embedded %20's

Try to open a file in qbittorrent and the filename will have %20 instead of spaces, which fails in xdg-open with a 'file doesn't exist' error.

A simple workaround is to do something like this:

url=echo "$url" | sed 's/%20/\\ /g'

But this will probably mess up internet urls.

I don't know how widespread the problem is or whether it's only a problem with qbittorrent, but I thought it was worth reporting it.
